Re: FC2

I have run FC1 and FC2.  FC2 is unstable.  FC1 has been perfectly
stable. I use FC1 every day on my servers and workstations.

With my customers, I still install FC1.  That would be my advise to
anyone.  Wait for FC3 and see what happens.  FC2 was their first attempt
at the 2.6 kernel and they are still working out the bugs.

> I am new to PDXLUG but not entirely new to Linux. I have been running Redhat 9 for about a year and there are some areas that I am fairly proficient in and others that I am astoundingly ignorant about. Anyway what I wanted to ask was, how wise is it to upgrade to Fedora Core 2 right now? I have read a number of reviews, some favourable, others not so favourable. All in all FC2 sounds like it shares all the weaknesses and strengths of a earlier Redhat distros. Is my initial impression accurate?

The problem is that I currently only have one machine and my wife wants to use it for email, yahoo messenger, general browsing, word processing etc. That means of course that I will be installing the entire package thus making it harder to secure.
